I would like to announce my support for the new Super League. I have been watching what they are doing with great interest. I believe there are alot of people out there who train brutally hard that need an avenue to compete that might not want to go tan, shave, etc. Super League actually turned down 200 applicants to their event a few weeks ago. I believe this is going to be a fun and exciting new sporting event and I am 100% behind them. As for me and my role, still ironing it out 🙂 Stay tuned!

Pro bodybuilder Rich Piana was placed into a medically induced coma this week after suffering a medical emergency at his Florida home, law enforcement sources tell TMZ Sports.

46-year-old Piana has competed and won several bodybuilding competitions over the years -- including Mr. California -- and has become an Instagram sensation, racking up more than 1 million followers.

Law enforcement sources tell us ... emergency personnel responded to a possible overdose call at Piana's home on Monday afternoon. When they arrived, Piana was unresponsive and was transported to a nearby hospital where he was placed into a medically induced coma.

AUG 04 (WASHINGTON, D.C.) ? The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration is proposing a reduction for controlled substances that may be manufactured in the U.S. next year by 20 percent as compared to 2017, per the proposed notice being published in the Federal Register on August 7, 2017 and available for public inspection today.

The DEA has proposed to reduce more commonly prescribed schedule II opioid painkillers, including oxycodone, hydrocodone, oxymorphone, hydromorphone, morphine, codeine, meperidine and fentanyl. Demand for these opioid medicines has dropped, according to sales data obtained by DEA from IMS Health, a company that provides insurance companies with data on prescriptions written and prescription medications sold in America.

?Physicians, pharmacists, and patients must recognize the inherent risks of these powerful medications, especially for long-term use,? said Acting Administrator Chuck Rosenberg. ?More states are mandating use of prescription drug monitoring programs, which is good, and that has prompted a decrease in opioid prescriptions.?

The Proposed Aggregate Production Quotas (APQ) for Schedule I and II controlled substances that is being published in the Federal Register reflects the total amount of controlled substances needed to meet the country?s legitimate medical, scientific, research, industrial, and export needs for the year and for the maintenance of reserve stocks.

In 2016, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued guidelines to practitioners recommending a reduction in prescribing opioid medications for chronic pain. DEA and its federal partners have increased efforts in the last several years to educate practitioners, pharmacists, manufacturers, and the public about the dangers associated with the misuse of opioid medications and the importance of properly prescribing.

When Congress passed the Controlled Substances Act, the quota system was intended to reduce or eliminate diversion from ?legitimate channels of trade? by controlling the quantities of the basic ingredients needed for the manufacture of controlled substances. The purpose of quotas is to provide for an adequate and uninterrupted supply for legitimate medical need of schedule I and schedule II controlled substances, which have a high potential for abuse, while limiting the amounts available to prevent diversion.

DEA must balance the production of what is needed for legitimate use against the production of an excessive amount of these potentially harmful substances. DEA establishes an APQ for more than 250 schedule I and II controlled substances annually.
In setting the APQ, DEA considers data from many sources, including estimates of the legitimate medical need from the Food and Drug Administration; estimates of retail consumption based on prescriptions dispensed; manufacturers? disposition history and forecasts; data from DEA?s own internal system for tracking controlled substance transactions; and past quota histories.

Once the aggregate quota is set, DEA allocates individual manufacturing and procurement quotas to those manufacturers that apply for them. DEA may revise a company?s quota at any time during the year if change is warranted due to increased sales or exports; new manufacturers entering the market; new product development; or product recalls.
